Where’s Thanksgiving

Recently, as Thanksgiving approached, I went shopping for appropriate decorations for our celebration table, as I had when our children were young.

Now I hoped to repeat the ambience for our four-year-old grandson to help reinforce the lessons he learned at nursery school and at home, about the true and important meaning of the day.

I went to every store from Sidney to Brentwood Bay that I thought might carry what I was looking for. What shocked me was what I found. There was a limited amount of stock available that pertained to this occasion.

Instead, I was overwhelmed by aisle after aisle of ghoulish Halloween stuff.
